Golden Week 2023, Saku City Balloon Festival

 

佐久バルーンフェスティバル Saku Hot Air Balloon Festival



Saku City in Nagano holds a hot air balloon festival for 3 days every Golden Week.  It's neat!  There are races between the balloons.  Also, there is the chance for spectators to ride in a balloon.

Here is a Japanese link to the Saku Balloon Festival.

I got up early to travel the few miles to the venue.  I could have just stayed home and let the balloons come to me!



At night, there was a pyrotechnic display.  I stayed away from the crowds and watched it from Kokuzoyama, a viewpoint above the Healthy Terrace Michi no Eki.
